1/ The plaintiffs in the challenge to the Alabama law restricting medical transition of minors have agreed to drop the case. Boe v. Marshall has probably done more to undermine the case for WPATH and pediatric gender medicine than any other legal action.
2/ The masterstroke by the Alabama Attorney General was to bring a motion to compel the World Professional Association for Transgender Health to produce the correspondence relating to the creation of its SOC8.

3/ What WPATH produced was a whole arsenal of smoking guns which disclosed the political manipulation of the standards of care and shredded what remained of WPATH's reputation as a trustworthy clinical and scientific organization.
4/ The disclosures provided the basis for a motion for summary judgment and a devastating brief by the Alabama Attorney General in the US Supreme Court Case of US v Skremetti. alabamaag.gov/wp-content/upl…
5/ It is surprising that the plaintiff's would drop the case before the Skremetti decision but it may be that the activist organizations feared that if the case proceeded even more damaging evidence from WPATH would be unsealed and they decided to cut their losses.
6/ The case was an unmitigated disaster for the activist groups backing it. Last year a number of lawyers acting for the plaintiffs were reprimanded by the court for judge shopping.
7/ The case was really over when the judge order pre-trial discovery. Pediatric gender medicine depends on the suppression of the truth and cannot stand up to close examination of the evidence.
